Viking Roasted Wheat

550 °L - Viking Roasted Wheat is produced by roasting good quality wheat grains using a process similar to that of Black Malt, with extra care taken to avoid burning the grain. The final roasting temperature is above 392˚F. The flavor of Roasted Wheat is harsh, and more bitter than the flavor of Black Malt. Burnt and smoky flavors are strong.

Roasted Wheat can be used for strong roasted wheat flavor. Roasted grains of non-malted crops, such as barley, wheat or rye give beers not only color, but also characteristic, slightly crude 'grain' aftertaste. They find broad use in brewing special and holiday beers.

In 2016 Viking Malt and Danish Malting Group joined forces to better serve their customers. Now the new Viking Malt is the leading malting company in Northern Europe and supply raw materials and services to the global brewing, distilling and food industries. Viking Malt has 6 malthouses in areas where our distinctive Nordic barley is sourced: in Halmstad, Sweden; Vordingborg, Denmark; Lahti, Finland; Panevezys, Lithuania and in Sierpc and Strzegom, Poland. The annual malting capacity is close to 600 kilotons.
